My first Jeep was an 1987 XJ Cherokee. 31's, 3" lift, bright red. I'll have to find some pics to scan in. First CJ was an 1982 CJ7, rattle can black with a 4 cyl. No pics of it... between my wife and I we've had 84 vehicles in 32 years of marriage...and we don't have pictures of 1/4 of them.

That made me sit down and count em up, 18 years of marriage and we are at 43 vehicles. AND It took me a few mins to recall all of them, dought i will be able to recall them all in 20 more years.

I keep a spreadsheet for that... it is just easier than trying to remember them all. I keep year, color, mileage, VIN, etc. in there.
Much easier to look at it then try to use the brain, cause it ain't what it used to be.

Bought my first Jeep at 19 after being snowed in with my girlfriend and her mother for a week straight! :banghead:
It was a 1977 CJ7 304 V8 manual steering and brakes and I drove that thing everywhere! Loved it!
Put a lift and some 33s on it and the usual junk from that era. Still have it actually in my gradmothers barn.
That started the Jeep craze since then weve had YJs TJs XJs ana a Willys. Current stable includes 2 CJ8s and the wifes Commando.
I will see if I can dig up some old pics and get them scanned.

Later

Scan? Scanned ? Scanner ? What's that ? :).

1. Take a pic of your old pic with your cell phone.

2. Get a lifetime membership and get forum access on your "smart" phone. Add it and other pics with one click ease.

3. Or do it the upload from PC way from your digi camera

4. Pat yourself on the back then eat bacon or drink beer or both. You'll fit in great around here. :p
 
Great Thread! I had to scan this photo in. This is my first Jeep- a 1985 Jeep CJ7 Laredo. That is my lovely wife (we were dating then) in the passenger seat. Jeep had Warn Full Float Axle kit, Weber Carb, TSW Wheels, etc... I wish I never sold it. More the memories than anything else. My other regret after my decision to sell it is WHAT THE HECK WAS I THINKING DRILLING HOLES IN THE PERFECTLY STRAIGHT SIDE PANEL TO MOUNT A HI LIFT???!!!!!!:shrug::shrug::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

I acquired this while I worked at a body shop- the owner had hit a brick mailbox on the right front and did not have insurance. Bought it wrecked and had a ball with it after I fixed it.

old jeep scrambler.jpgHeres my first scrambler, it was an 86 that I traded for in 96. Kept in for a couple years and thought I was flat raping someone when I sold it for 9k bucks but even at 9k it only took me two days to sell it.
 
Had it since 16.
'82 Sherwood Green

It hurts me even more to know that the guy I sold it to flipped it on ebay...

I keep hoping to find it on one of the craigslist listing that Polarfire posts! I get excited every time I see an '82 in posted somewhere in the southeast.
 
First Jeep was a 82 CJ7 bought in December of 1981. Went for a test drive on a cold night with no top on the Jeep(17 degrees). Had the 258, T4 and 2.73 gears. Upgraded to 35's and Dana 44's SOA AMC 360 and Ford T18 in 83 which was pretty radical at that time. Here's a picture from 1985 at Tellico during an event called the Great Smokey Mountain Trek. I had just broken a rear axle.

I got into Jeeps via my ex-wife, who had an 89 YJ when we married. Here's the first "real" Jeep I bought (I owned a 93 Grand that I gave to my Dad ten years ago, he still drives it today)... it's an 86 CJ7.

When I bought it:

Ten years late after I'd restored it, and listed it for sale:

Heres my CJ-5. I swapped in a 360 to replace the tired 304. I had a T-18 and a built set of axles in the shed ready to swap in when it was stolen. About 2 years later the culprits were caught and I got a little monitery compensation. I still miss that Jeep. :(

This was my first Jeep. This picture was taken in 1992, my Senior year in high school. I sold it a few months later before moving up to the northwest corner of Wyoming. I regretted ever selling it, but right out of high school I wasn't able to afford the insurance and gas on it especially with the distances you have to drive in Wyoming. It averaged around 11 mpg with a 304 v8. Fast forward 18 years or so and I finally bought another one but this time it was my scrambler. I bought my CJ8 because ever since I sold my CJ7, over the 18 years, I would literally have dreams while sleeping at night of driving my old Jeep. Good times!

Yeah, If I remember correctly, that was a '51. It belonged to a friend of mine that was living over here for a few years from England. It was pretty cool and fun to drive with a three on the tree. We parked near each other while at school and it was always a struggle to decide who was going to drive to lunch. Usually if there were more than three of us we would jump in the Jeep otherwise someone of three would pile in his truck with someone riding *****.

1972 CJ5 , my wife and I got this about a year after we got together. Origanally had a 232 with a t15 3spd .
It now has a 360 with a holley pro-jection , t-18 , 4.27 with ARB's also has a shackle reversal with 4inch yj springs.
I can count on one hand how many original parts it has left . For those of you who wander onto early cj5 , it was the Dec 2010 calander pic .
